JOHN JONES MONUMENT,

John Jones began at the age of
fifteen to build a monument and fin
ished it at fifty. He worked night
and day, often all night long on the
Sabbath. He seemed to be in a
hurry to get it done. He spent all
the money he earned upon it-some
say 100000 Then he borrowed all
he could and when no one would
loan him any more he would take his
wife's dresses. the bed-clothes and
many other valuable things in his
home and sell them to get more mon
ey to finish the monument. They
say he came homo one day and was
about to take the blankets that lay
over his sleeping baby to keep it
warm, and his wife tried to stop him,
but he drew back his fist and knocked
her down, and then went away with
the blankets and never brought them
back, and the poor baby sickened
and died from the exposure. At last
there was nothing left in the house.
The poor heart broken wife soon fol-
lowed the baby to the grave. Yet
John kept working all the more on
the monument. l saw him when he
was about fifty years old. The mon
ument was nearly done; but he had
worked so hard at it that l hardly
knew him, he was so worn; his
clothes were in tatters, and his hands
and face, indeed his whole body
were covered with scars which he had
got in laying up some of the stones
And the wretched man had been so
little in good society all the while
that he was building, that he had
about forgotten how to use the En-
glish language his tongue had some
how become very thick, and when he
tried to speak out would come an
oath. That may seem strange, but
l have found out that all who build
such monuments as Johns prefer
oaths to any other word. Now come
with me and / will show you Johns
monument. 1t stands in a beautiful
part of the city where five streets
meet. Most men put such things in
a cemetery. But John had his own
way and put it on one of the finest
lots to be found. ''Does it look like
Bunker hill monument" asks little
Amy Arlott by my side. Not at all.
John didn't want to be remembered
in that way. He might have taken
that fifty thousand dollars and built
an asylum for the poor little children
that have no home, and the people
would have called the asylum his
monument. But here we are at the
front door, 1t is a grand house
1t is high and large, with great halls
and towers, and velvet carpets, ele-
giant mirrors and a piano, and know
not what all; SO rich and grand.
This is John Jones monument. And
the man who sold John nearly all the
whiskey he drank lives here with his
family, and they dress in the richest
and finest clothes. Do you under
stand it?

St. JOhnsbury, Jan. %, 1887.
DEAR FRIENDS =
Unless prompt action is taken imme-
diately by our friends there is great
danger that Brands Physiology may
again be put into many schools under
some such mistake as caused its
adoption in certain schools under the
law of 1882.
The State Text Book committee
have adopted the Pathfinder Series
published by a. 5. Barnes & Co.,
New \ DIRK, to be used in the schools
for the next five years. These books
give sound and correct teaching, and
are endorsed by the National W. c..
I. T., and they are the only books
in the market bearing this endorse
ment.
The series is complete and covers
the whole course of study, including
primary, intermediate and high school
grades. While Brands boook is
recommended by the committee for
intermediate schools, it is not well
adapted to grade. In the language
of the teachers, ''It is not teacha-
BILE book" as compared with Hvgi-
enc for young people. 1t has neUer
received the endorsement of the Ma
tional W. c. T. T., and Miss Will
lard's personal endorsement was long
since withdrawn.
1t remains with the town superin-
tendents now to order from the adop-
ted list such books as they choose.
To take Brands for intermediate
schools prolongs the course of study
unnecessarily, is not demanded by
law and we believe Hygiene for
young people will give better results.
This opinion is based upon school re-
ports. 1t is Of vital Importance that
this required study prove interesting
to both pupils and teachers. From
all over the Union comes the uniform
testimony that the Pathfinder series
is proven success. Reports from
our own state corroborate this testi-
mony. For the district schools the
Primer and Hygiene for young poe
pie are only the suitable books Take
no others.
Will you not visit your town super
intendent of schools immediately on
receipt of this and urge that he order
the Pathfinder series only?
If you have no town superinten-
dent see the school officers and have
your friends see them also. The or
der for books will soon have been
made, and then it is too late. With
the hope that we may "save the
children to-day so that the Nation
may be saved tomorrow.
For their sake | am earnestly
yours,

AMONG THE GAS WELLS.

A group of burning wells north of
Washington, Pa, has presented many
grand and beautiful night scenes.
Though several miles apart, they ap-
pear at a distance, to be close togeth-
er, and their light intermingles. On a
dark night, with all of them burning,
they make a great show. These wells
in full blast-with those fianking
them on the right and ON the left,
with the broad glare Of those at Wells
burg, W. Va, showing twenty miles
to the northwest, and those at Muir
raysville, Pa, thirty miles to the
northeast-makes a scene which
would terrify stranger, if he should
come upon it unaware Of the existence
of such things as burning gas-weIls.
1T would only need columns of fiery
lava to convince him that the whole
region was full Of volcanoes. And
his terror would doubtless be com
plete when he saw a great fiery col
umn shoot skyward, unless he was
made aware of the real cause of the
phenomenon, when he would remain
TO admire what a moment be-
fore had filed him with alarm. The
explanation of the sudden burst of
flame is that it is necessary often to
elbow OUT the wells and the pipes
leading to the regulator, to keep
them from being clOgged by the salt
which gathers in the pipes from the
saltwater thrown up by the gas. The
flow of the gas is stopped for mo-
ment and when again released, the
gas drives everything before it into
the open air. This escaping gas is
burned ut the regulator. The effect
of the suddenly increased pressure is
10 shoot a tongue Of flame, kissing
and roaring, high in air. On a misty
night, when the light is broken up
and diffused,-the snOw-cOvered hills
sometimes adding their reflection
the whole sky is brilliantly illuminated
and the scene is grand and beautiful.
